There are desktop clients available for syncing data directly from PCs
running Windows, Mac OS, or Linux as well as mobile apps for iOS and
Android devices. More importantly, stored data can be accessed using
the ownCloud Web Frontend in any standards-compliant web browser.
Any updates to files are pushed between all computers or mobile
devices connected to a user's account.

2 Application view: This is where apps show their content. By
default, this will show the files and directory (file view) of your user
on the ownCloud installation.
3 Upload/Create button: This allows you to create new files or
upload existing ones from your device. Note that you can also drop
files from Explorer or Finder onto the ownCloud file view and they
will get uploaded to ownCloud.
4 Search/Logout: Search allows you to look for files and
directories. Currently, ownCloud does not provide a full text search,
but this may change in future releases.
5 Settings: This button provides access to the settings menu,
where you can change your personal settings, such as the
interface language or your password. You can also retrieve the
WebDAV URL (see next chapter) and show your quota.
Administrators will also get access to user management (Users),
the apps settings (Apps) and administrative settings (Admin)
including access to ownCloud’s log.

12. Naming and editing tips
●
Use descriptive names to identify the content/purpose of files, but not too long
Do not use spaces and avoid special characters such as ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) ` ;
<>?,[]{}'"|
Additionally those are sometimes special "-" and "_"
One_word - google treats underscore as character
Two-words - individual words when separated by dash
●
●
When using a sequential numbering system, using leading zeros for clarity and to
make sure files sort in sequential order. For example, use "001, 002, ...010,
011 ... 100, 101, etc." instead of "1, 2, ...10, 11 ... 100, 101, etc."
Date
International Standard Organiztion (ISO)standard 8601 allows different formats:
YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD
Examples: 2012-01-26 or 20110602
